    Great location can walk to south bank, Waterloo and the imperial war museum is just around the corner! super friendly staff, love the decor and good vibes to hang out in the pub below - being on the top floor even with the window open we had no noise issues even though the World Cup was on. The staff are always exceptionally nice and welcoming. Food in the pub is nice. Pillows are SUPER COMFY! Way Above average tea and coffee amenities. I could not visit again in summer, the heat was unbearable in the upper floor, slept on the floor for the whole stay because the bed was so warm. Had fans in the room but blowing hot air. The plumbing needs maintenance (this is our 2nd stay here) the first stay had water pressure issues so you couldn’t shower if someone else was showering in another room. this stay there was no cold water, if set to cold the shower would just stop, which when the room is above 30 degrees day and night was not ideal (obviously we can’t control the weather and perm air con is expensive but even small portable air con units are definitely needed in the upper rooms) as the windows don’t open more than a third for safety. Also a few general maintenance issues (broken chair / fan needing maintenance as not performing as needs cleaning)

    Location The room was extremely hot due to the lack of air conditioning. On top of that, it was raining and the roof was leaking. The TV remote wasn't working, there was only one mirror, which was located in a dark corner of the room, and the lighting throughout the room was very poor. On our last night, it rained during the early hours of the morning, and we woke up startled by water leaking into both the bathroom and the bedroom

    The hotel is in a convenient location and although there is a pub under it, the room was quiet. The staff was very nice and the food good. The bed was very comfy The room is dated but to be fair all I needed is a bed to sleep and a private bathroom so it was ok for the price

    Massive room.

    I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the Ship Rooms. Nice comfy bed, good pillows and a decent decor. The hot water for the shower was a bit "odd" - came out in a trickle and then normal, but kept fluctuating between the two!

    Great quiet location still in walking distance to all of the best attractions. Easy access to public transport. Lovely staff and very helpful. We had a few issues with water pressure and a burst pipe so were without water for a bit but other this was great!
